Description
2339299 TELESCOPIC EYE CLIP This invention relates to a telescopic rifle
sight, Telescopic sights are used in shooting to magnify and enhance a target to the human eye.
For accurate shooting it is required that the crosshairs within the telescopic sight be placed correctly on the target and that the human eye should be placed in exactly the same place behind the telescopic sight every time; every shot.
As shooting is done from many different stances correct eye alignment is very difficult to achieve, often resulting in a missed target.
The object of this invention is to provide an extra point of optical reference to a shooter in addition to the crosshairs within a telescopic sight.
Accordingly this invention provides an extra point of optical reference ensuring consistent and accurate positioning of the shooters eye behind the telescopic sight. The point of reference being made to clip into the rear eyebell, and to be held under friction/spring tension.
Preferably the eye alignment clip is made of black or coloured plastic, but any material with suitable springiness may be used. The diameter is determined by the diameter of the telescopic sights eyebell which it is to fit. Eg 30mm eyebell clip 32mm.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of an example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: - Fig I shows the telescopic sight eye alignment clip from the front.
Fig 2 shows the telescopic sight eye alignment clip from the side.
Fig 3 shows where the telescopic sight eye clip is inserted into a telescopic sight.
Fig 4 shows the view through a telescopic sight with the clip in place crosshairs and eye lined up correctly on a target in this case a rabbit.
Fig 5 shows the view through a telescopic sight with the clip in place crosshairs and eye lined up incorrectly on a target in this case a rabbit.
As shown in Fig 1. The telescopic sight eye alignment clip comprises a shaped piece of black plastic. The central pillar I forms the eyes reference point to the exact centre of the telescopic sights optical bore. The tow arms 2, form the means by which under slight spring tension the clip holds itself into the eyebell of a telescopic sight. The clip being slightly larger in diameter than the bore of the telescopic sight eyebell.
CLADIS The telescopic sight eye alignment clip when inserted into the rear eyebell of a telescopic sight provides a second optical reference point (the top of the pillar Fig 1, 1) to the crosshairs causing consistent positioning of the eye behind the scope and better shooting.
The telescopic sight eye alignment clip is easfly inserted and removed with the fingers enabling the rear lens of the telescopic sight to be cleaned of water vapour, or dirt without the need for tools.
The telescopic sight eye alignment clip is especially suited for use with telescopic sights fitted with rubber eye cups (to reduce glare off the lens surface) as these make the observance of misalignment shadows very very difficult.
Claims (1)
- The telescopic sight eye alignment clip also functions as in Claim I wheninserted into the rear eyebell of an infra red image intensifier or nightsight.
